Crypto algorithm list

The learning here is that ciphers and hashes are different and use different algorithms. With node’s crypto use .getCiphers() and .getHashes() methods to return an array with the names of the supported ciphers and hashes respectively.

var crypto = require('crypto')
console.log(crypto.getCiphers())
console.log(crypto.getHashes())

Which logs the following ciphers:
